THE DISTRICT RECORDER OF DEEDs.--
Precisely what President Cleveland hopes
to accomplish by the persistent appoint
ment of non resident colored man to the
Office of recorder of deeds in the District of
Columbia is little difficult for those outside
of administration circles to understand. We
long ago entered our earnest protest against
such an appointment, when Matthew's
name was returned to the Senate, not be
cause of his color, but because we
deemed it most unwise to import from New
York or any other state an official TO man
age any local department of the District
government. 1t has been said the Pres-
dent ia not able to fiDd suitable colored
man resident in the District to fill this
office, and hence his adherence to the
policy which induces him to look elsewhere.
We can but ask why the question of race
should enter at all into the question, and
this particular place be set apart to be filled
especially by colored man, for there can
certainly be no difficulty in finding q man
of some other complexion fit to discharge its
mere routine duties. When Frederick
Douglass was appointed some years ago
be had at least been in the city OF
Washington 80 much that the objec-
! ton of being stranger to lis people
could not very we'll be urged against him.
But because he filed this Office seems no
reason at all why to the end of time it
should be assigned as the property of some
one of his race. The President is I'M
questionaby wrong from every stand
point in urging this matter. In the
first place it is offensive to the
people of the District, who, notwith.
standing the periodical influx OF strangers,
are to some extent homogeneous, and have
some ideas of local self-government, which
ought to be respected. From party point
of view no good can possibly come for even
if it were possible to win any considerable
portion of the colored vote by such trans
parent device, it would be more than coun-
terbalanced by the dissatisfaction certain to
result among those democrats who look
with disfavor, akin to q stronger feeling,
upon this whole proceeding. Let the Pres.
dent recognize the fact that the District Of
Columbia is quite able to furnish material
for it's local Offices, and that if it is not to be
fonnd among its colored population, there
will be no harm done in seeking for it
among the white residsnts.-Baltimore Sun.

Danger of the Gas Meter.
The Engineer.

The Engineer.
The meters which gas companies introduce
into our houses are put together with solder
that melts at low degree of heat. Wien a fire
originates a gas meter the heat very soon
causes IL to fall apart, and the unchecked flow of
gas from the influent pipe quickly fills the
premises with a roaring and devastating flame.
After every fire, when there is total loss of the
building. blazing stream of gas roars on be-
meath falling walls and debris, until measures
are taken to stop the supply of gas from the
street mains. With these facts before every
body's eyes, it seems strange that no attempt is
made to have meters differently constructed. or
some way devised TO prevent the loss that neces-
sarlIv results from the present state of things.
